It may not be everyone's favorite job, but cleaning your home's gutters at a minimum of just once a year could help in preventing a build-up of leaves, sticks and other debris, this can cause clogs and result in water creeping under the roof and sometimes, into the foundation. 

Our advice? We recommend cleaning your gutters more often if you have overhanging trees next to your house, or after a big storm which may have sent extra leaves and other debris straight to them.

Here's a little tip: Instead of using a store-bought scoop for the cleaning, use an old plastic kitchen spatula. It gets the job done just as well, and it won’t damage the gutters.

While it may not be the greatest chore - trust us, its more fun than water damage. 

If you have or suspect water damage to your home or business, give SERVPRO of North Seminole a call at (407) 323-2422.
